Title: Key fob cam and gentle ride through English countryside
Post by: Snips on May 17, 2010, 08:03:08 AM
Hi,

I picked up one of those key fob cams - brilliant for the price.

Here's a 10 min video I made on a very gentle ride through some English villages and countryside - no exciting action I'm afraid - it was all on camera  ;)

The camera was taped to the turn signal.  The original picture quality is actually better than the YouTube processed version.

Wow.

That is really good quality for a key fob camera.
What kind did you buy?

Thanks.

I bought it via eBay in the UK, but it's an 808 Key fob micro camera - very cheap, about $12 + cost of a microSD memory card.

What part of the U.K. are you in? Nice scenery from such a tiny camera.

Watched the whole video once I got home. Pretty scenery.

Awesome, just bought one on ebay.  $11.88+free shipping, can't go wrong.

But you are riding on the wrong side of the road!!   ;D

Seriously...I'd love to ride around those English roads but I'm sure within 5 minutes I'd forget where I was and run smack into an oncoming truck.  I guess I'll just watch the video again instead.

It's some country roads on the boundary of Cambridgeshire / Suffolk - about 50 miles north of London.

So what is the record time for one of these cameras with say a 8g sd card?
Nice pictures my cousin will be getting maried in wales in June.
To bad I don"t have enough $$ for 4 tickets.

Nice!!

I had an interview with Lakenheath Airbase last summer.  Is your area nearby?

I have a 4Gb card, and I estimate it would record about 45 mins - much more than that and I believe battery life becomes more of an issue.

There's some excellent roads in North Wales - very popular with bikers.
